Would you mind setting that up for Pywikibot (core) too? Maarten

Test breakage due to a new warning
by Fabian Neundorf 23 Oct '14

23 Oct '14

I just want to notify, that the nose tests are going to fail now as test wikipedia now emits a warning when a action=query is executed without a continue parameter.[1] I've uploaded a temporary fix which avoid breaking the tests[2] but this should replaced with a better solution soon. Unfortunately I don't know how we solve this the best. The main problem is that we don't know what we need to do because for that we need to know which version the server is using. My idea would be to add an empty 'continue' if there is no 'continue' or 'rawcontinue' present (could be done in Request._add_defaults). Of course we also need to update QueryGenerator to set 'rawcontinue' at first until we update it to use the new system. I'll try to upload a intermediary fix for which I invite others to add comments (if applicable of course) and improve it. 1: https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-api-announce/2014-September… 2: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/168523

Wikidata reference implementation in Pywikibot
by Maarten Dammers 22 Oct '14

22 Oct '14

Hi guys, I'm wondering how to add references that have multiple parts. Take for example https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q76 (Barack Obama). The third reference of date of birth has two parts: * "stated in" -> "Integrated Authority File" * "date retrieved" -> "9 April 2014" Currently a reference in our implementation is a special claim [1]. I'm pretty sure the left hand side of a claim is always one property (for example "date of birth"), with references this can be multiple (for example "stated in" and "date retrieved"). Am I missing something or should we change our implementation? Maarten [1] https://git.wikimedia.org/blob/pywikibot%2Fcore.git/5b04107f5f4151a82293389…

how to track a bug
by Manpreet Kaur 03 Oct '14

03 Oct '14

Hi! I am new to pywikibot and have been going through installation/contribution articles. I have two questions: 1. What is the difference b/w pywikibot-core/compat and core/compat? Do i need to install both? 2. I wish to fix the bug 57995 - Add function for list=watchlistraw. On the gerrit page(https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/100363/). A couple of patches have been uploaded but I cant view the given links. Also, I am assuming that I need to continue where others left but how do I know what parts of the bugs have been fixed?

Python 3 nosetests
by Fabian Neundorf 02 Oct '14

02 Oct '14

With Gerrit change 162599 [1] all future changes must be compatible with Python 3. Currently pywikibot is at least compatible with Python 3.4.1 (I only use that version of Python and didn't find any problems) and Travis is already doing the tests on Python 3.3. [1]: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/162599/
